They're ralking about spookybot, right?

Brian

Why not both?

Matt Grayson

Spookybot looks at the moon, sighs, and says "Yep. Simply *covered* in footprints. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get lunar dust out of a silk carpet?"

I like how, despite how awkward this whole thing has been for Roko, she's still way happier than she ever was as a cop. I just want her to be happy and integrate with the rest of the cast now! :D

Please make asking spookybot about the moon landing one of our options for the bonus comic next month. :-)

John Ridley

Hah "Uncanine Valley"

Mark

Spookybot's attention is not something to be drawn lightly ... although they seem to have a certain affection for Roko.

Kurious

And the ship sank......

Bagge

Heh! Robot conspiracy theories promises to be something extra

Brent Catherman

The Praeses?

Pavel Curtis

Welp, I think that ship just sank...

Kyle Major

Ahhhaaha (awkward laugh) she plays that joke so straight she'd be a good comedian

Fart Captor

I'm slightly disappointed to realize that they were NOT in fact, holding hands in the first panel because they're too cute

Populuxe

Dammit, Beepatrice, you ruined the mood.

Bruce Steinberg

Even better, Spookybot might get Pintsize to answer!

Captain Button

Asimov avoided aliens because John W. Campbell would always want humans to be superior to them somehow.

Katrina Urmson

But... Spookybot might answer.

Roko's expression in the last panel is complex and charming.

God damn it, I have read that story and can't recall the title or author. It sounds vaguely Asimov, but I don't think he would throw in extraterrestrials. I am getting a vague image of an Ace paperback with a moonscape and large machine on the cover, but I can't make out the title.
